Hi, I've not shot RAW video before. Irrespective of whether the zebra option is on or off on the Blackmagic 2.5k Camera, I get zebra lines and peaking colours in the footage transferred from the camera to DaVinci Resolve. This doesn't go even when the footage is exported to Quicktime. Is this normal? If yes, then where can I turn off this feature after transferring to DaVinci. Also, the peaking highlights don't cover the whole frame, they cut in exact half horizontally.

And if this isn't normal, then what can be the possible reason to cause this?

That's definitley not normal. Even if you would want that, I can see no way to provoke this, maybe unless you record with an external device via SDI and overlay on. Your footy comes from the SSD right?

Set your zebras to 100%, ETTR and you're golden - and NO, you can't use TB as output for an external monitor, and you can't download the footy via TB ether.

Looks like what i'd expect to be recorded in some kind of secret "testing mode" that allows engineers to compare raw data from the sensor to the cameras interpretation of that data. Maybe you somehow got an engineering sample?! In any case this is nothing you could de/activate yourself (only probably in some hidden menus...), so you should return the camera.

I'd try updating the firmware, if that doesn't fix it, then as Mac here says a warranty return for a new one.
